Syntax is the Key to Semantics: Combining Universal Dependencies and Abstract Meaning Representation

Abstract

This paper presents a new Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) dataset using sentences which are already translated in 21 languages and annotated in dependency syntax (Parallel Universal Dependencies, PUD) and . We annotated the English version of the 1000 sentences available in the PUD dataset. Since PUD provides syntactic annotations, this new AMR dataset (PUD-AMR) allows comparisons of syntactic phenomena and their corresponding semantics. We finally provide a first analysis of parallels between syntactic and semantic structures.
